" I think part of my success as an editor came from never worrying about a fact, a cause, an atmosphere. It was me—projecting to the public. That was my job. I think I always had a perfectly clear view of what was possible for the public. Give 'em what they never knew they wanted." DiANA VREELAND

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Good morning all Today feels like friday for me since I have tomorrow "off" (studyday). A friend of mine will come over to my place later for some sushi and wine. Looking forward to it! Sotd is Chergui.

Thanks to a lovely perfume friend, I am wearing Amouage Lyric Woman today. A sultry rose perfume, it has spices and touches of incense and woods with the barest wisp of an unsweet vanilla. It is absolutely, completely stunning and I'd buy a full bottle in a NY minute but the $$$ is too rich for my blood. Heartbreaker!!

Best to all!

Good morning - everyone is smelling great today! Roberto, I love the look of that bottle and wooden cap!

I had a tough time choosing a fragrance this morning...so many beckoning me. The cold, autumn weather has arrived, and I seem to be craving Chypres,Leathers (O.K. that's a year-round category for me), and dry, nutty, earthy, smoky/incensy floral and green scents. I just realized while writing this, that these 3 scent categories I typically crave in the fall are also what I gravitate toward in the Spring. I see a similarity in those two seasons...While diametrically opposed in the sense that one is all about birth, light and opening up, and the other about closing down and reserving energy within, they are each about transition of the Earth. The fragrances I wear in these seasons seem to contain the essence of them.

That was a lovely ramble Pomander! And I agree totally.
Today I'm finishing my sample of Chanel's 31 Rue Cambon. With the smaller bottles coming out soon, I'm not even able to kid myself why I pulled these samples out again

Hello everyone!

I have another dance class (a new one - dance fitness!) this morning so I'm joining pomander and cello and sticking with Chanel, but today it'll be No19 vintage edt. Btw cello, the small sizes (2.5 oz) are available online now - they're available in Beige, Sycomore, Coromandel and Eau de Cologne (which is a bit disappointing as I was also hoping for 31 Rue Cambon and Cuir de Russie...hmph!)

Y'all have a great day!

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan
